More quotes by Dick Gregory
The United States is the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet.
Dick Gregory
Because you make me laugh don't make you a comic. A comedian is a person who, that's how they make their living.
Dick Gregory
...Humans were the only creatures in the world that ate their food cooked. You'd never find a Gorilla frying up some bananas for dinner or a lion charcoal-broiling a zebra steak. Cats don't often run to the oven with a mouse or bird they've captured, and a dog wouldn't naturally prepare its rabbit dinner in a stew.
Dick Gregory
We thought I was going to be a great athlete, and we were wrong, and I thought I was going to be a great entertainer, and that wasn't it either. I'm going to be an American Citizen. First class.

Dick Gregory
You hear entertainers all the time, saying, 'If I couldn't get paid for this, I'd do it for free.' When's the last time you ever heard a business person say, 'If I couldn't get paid for being chairman of British Petroleum, I'd do it for free'?

That's easy, to stand in a nightclub, where most of the people that come in, they came to see you.
Dick Gregory
When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.
Dick Gregory
When I went south in the 1960s, I knew I could die. If I went down there and did what I did up in Chicago and made all of those hatin' white folks laugh, then I would have been defeated.
Dick Gregory
To me, seeing a really great comedian is a bit like watching a musician or a poet.
Dick Gregory
A Klaner KKK is a cat who gets out of bed in the middle of the night and takes his sheet with him.
Dick Gregory
Black conservatives have a right to exist, but why would I want to walk around with a swastika on my shirt after the way Hitler done messed it up?
Dick Gregory
Being white is a job in America. You take that away, you better get the soldiers out.
Dick Gregory
In America, with all of its evils and faults, you can still reach through the forest and see the sun. But we don't know yet whether that sun is rising or setting for our country.
Dick Gregory
Don't have a high school diploma? You're in my Cabinet. Why? For 200 years, a lot of Cabinets have existed in our government. Powerful men. Well-educated. So let's try something totally new.
Dick Gregory
We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.
Dick Gregory
Luck is opportunity meeting up with preparation. So you must prepare yourself to be lucky.
